Can someone please authenticate this? I think it's a Beekman Briefcase 5266. Was it made in 1994? TIA!

I've looked through my catalogs going back to 1985 and can't find anything that looks like this, or that has any of the same design details, including the shape of the flap, the rectangular "pillow" on the flap that seems pretty sloppy at the base, the way the corners are sewn, the zipper pull on the coin pocket, the snap, or the edges of the credit card holders which should be stitched on older wallets and heat-sealed on newer ones.

The ONLY thing that connects it to Coach is the stamp and those are easy to fake.

Thank you Hyacinth for checking for me. I've searched my stuff too, and found nothing. It looks very similiar to my unknown style 9100 Italy bag - note the strange leathercovered emblem.

I asked the seller to see if there were any "Made In Italy" stamps, but she said it did not. :confused1:
Shoot me a pm if you ever come across these two so I can stop banging my head. lol

Could be. But unless someone has a 1997 catalog showing the wallet and maybe even the purse, we may never know. But the snap looks like it's from an Italian manufacturer. Maybe we'll get lucky.

Comment: the water stains on the back: would they be less notable if it was given a bath? Also, one of the lobster claws is broken/missing. How difficult to replace?

1-ok

2- I've never seen a Willis from 1996 with Nickle hardware, or with the back of the post part of the turnlock covered by leather so it can't be replaced. Not recommended.

3- Station Bag, not a Willis

4- There's no way in HE** I would EVER recommend seller botticelli4grace - read the post by BeenBurned. SHE KNOWINGLY AND DELIBERATELY SOLD A LARGE LOT OF BAGS THAT INCLUDED AT LEAST 8 FAKE COACHES AND THEN CLAIMED THAT AS LONG AS ONE OF THEM WAS GENUINE, THE LISTING WAS LEGAL. I wouldn't trust her to sell a genuine newspaper, and I WILL NOT EVER recommend that anyone buy anything from her under ANY circumstances, and I will NOT authenticate ANY of her listings.

If anyone reading this keeps a "Seller S**t List" I strongly suggest adding her name to it, because she's right at the top of mine - and she had to push past some real slimeballs to get there.

5- genuine

In my post, I stated that I won't authenticate her listings, however, I'd like to clarify. If someone posts an authenticity request from botticelli4grace that happens to be for a fake, it would give me great pleasure to post that!!

It's a genuine Colebrooke Case but it's NOT a full size brief. The measurements are only about 13x11 so it's 3 to 4 inches shorter than the standard size. Please make sure that's the size you want before you bid. The seller should have given measurements in their listing.

Here's a copy of Coach's description:

Thanks for the warning! I had a suspicion that it looked small so I checked the style number and found the dimensions as well. As always, your help is greatly appreciated :D!!!

Thanks for the information and the warning about botticelli4grace. Such a pretty name for a slimeball! I wondered about the nickel hardware on the 1996 Willis since I had read that nickel didn't get used until 1997. I've crossed the red one off my list since it's missing hardware.

Oh, and Hyacinth, I was reading your salearea guides and I'd love someone to post pics of the Gramercy and Bridle styles and the Kelly bags. Checked eBay and only found a wallet in the Gramercy. I do like the linen design of the leather. Thanks again for your expertise

Thanks.
